Diesel engine water temperature is too high caused by: lack of coolant or improper selection, insufficient heat dissipation area, thermostat failure. Lack of coolant or improper selection: Cannot remove the heat generated by engine parts in time. Coolant is an indispensable part of automobile engines, consisting of water, antifreeze and additives. It circulates in the engine cooling system to remove excess heat generated during engine operation, ensuring the engine operates at normal working temperature. Insufficient heat dissipation area: The heat dissipation area of cooling water for diesel engines is matched according to power and load. Since the coolant for water-cooled diesel engines is mostly composed of water and ethylene glycol, unqualified coolant quality can produce a large amount of scale in the heat dissipation pipes, blocking them and reducing heat dissipation efficiency. Thermostat failure: Automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator according to the temperature of the cooling water. Changes the circulation range of water to regulate the heat dissipation capacity of the cooler, ensuring the engine works within a suitable temperature range.

Can Modified Brake Calipers Pass the Annual Vehicle Inspection?

Modifying brake calipers is illegal. Altering brake calipers involves changing the vehicle's design, which, strictly speaking, will not pass the annual inspection. However, in practice, as long as the modified brake calipers are not overly conspicuous, they may still pass the inspection. If you simply repaint the brake calipers in bright colors like red or yellow, although the appearance changes, it will not affect the annual inspection. Brake calipers are part of disc brake systems, which are generally similar in design, consisting of calipers, brake discs, brake pads, hydraulic control, and assist systems. The "Safety Technical Specifications for Motor Vehicle Operation" imposes requirements on braking distance and stability, especially concerning the safety performance of brakes. Therefore, every vehicle meets or even exceeds safety standards, and owners need not modify brakes out of safety concerns. Many owners who change the color of their brake calipers do so because they see high-performance sports cars with red or yellow calipers and follow the trend. In reality, the color of brake calipers on supercars not only represents high performance but also indicates different performance grades. The annual vehicle inspection includes checking the engine, chassis, body, and related equipment for cleanliness, completeness, and functionality; verifying paint uniformity and aesthetics; confirming whether major components have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; testing braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features to ensure compliance with the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation"; and checking for modifications, alterations, or transformations, ensuring the vehicle's condition matches the records on the license and registration documents and that any changes have been properly approved and documented. Legal vehicle modifications include tire style changes, as long as the tire size and specifications match those on the registration certificate.

How many points are deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat?

No points are deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, and the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123 on the Issuance and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses, there are no explicit mandatory regulations prohibiting children from sitting in the front passenger seat or requiring the use of child safety seats. However, most vehicle manuals indicate that children under 12 years old (or shorter than 1.4 meters) should not sit in the front row. The front passenger seat is the most dangerous position, as in the event of sudden braking, parents are unable to provide timely protection to a child seated there. Vehicle seat belts are designed based on adult standards, suitable for individuals weighing over 36kg and taller than 140cm. If used for children, the seat belt may press against the child's neck, causing greater harm in the event of an accident. Even holding a child in the lap is highly unsafe. Hazards of children sitting in the front passenger seat: When the airbag deploys, the strong impact force may knock the child unconscious; In a collision, an unrestrained child may be ejected, and even with a seat belt, there is a risk of injury or ejection; Children's tendency to move around may distract the driver, and they might play with the gear shift. Precautions for sitting in the front passenger seat: Do not hold a child: Children under 12 years old should not sit in the front passenger seat, nor should they be held there. Use seat belts correctly: Without a seat belt, sudden braking could eject the passenger from the vehicle. Reclining the seat too far while wearing a seat belt can turn it into a noose, posing a strangulation risk during sudden braking. Avoid controversial discussions: Avoid discussing contentious topics with the driver, as arguments can lead to emotional loss of control, potentially causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Conversations should be mild and soothing to the driver's mood, avoiding any actions that might provoke or upset the driver.
